In this episode, Mike and Sean talk with Margaret Eaton, National CEO for the Canadian Mental Health Association, about the pandemic’s impact on the mental health of Canadians. Although public opinion has shifted, stigma has been reduced, and open dialogue about mental health issues has become more common, Canadians rank mental health as the second biggest health problem in the country (after COVID but ahead of cancer). While government investment in mental health support has increased since the pandemic began, there are gaps that will need to be addressed now and in the post-pandemic world to ensure Canadians have access to free, easily accessible mental health programs.
